If you read or listen to the mainstream media today, you would think that there is no news of importance other than who the special prosecutor got indicted and for what. That, however, is completely wrong. The big story comes from North Korea. According to the British press, there was a collapse of underground facilities at the NK nuclear testing site and over 200 people have been killed as a result. There is also a major fear that there will be further collapse which could release enormous amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere. The collapse was the result of improper procedures used by the NKs during their last underground nuke test.
This is something that may finally stir China to increase pressure on the NKs with regard to giving up their nukes. After all, the countries besides North Korea who would be most affected by a radiation cloud would be China, South Korea, Russia and Japan. Depending on the weather at the time of the release and the duration of that release, the Chinese could see a cloud of radioactive materials float over their northeastern region and cause massive casualties.
How can this not be covered in the US media?
